NOBODY ELSE.

Two little hands so careful and brisk,
Putting the teathings away;
WINE mother Is resting awhile in her chair.
For she BIAS been busy all day,
Ana the dear little fingers are working for
love-
Although they are tender and wee.
I'll do 1T SO nicely" she says to herself
There's nobody else you see."
Two little feet just scampered up-statrs.
For daddy will quickly be here;
And his shoes must be ready and warm by the
fire
That is burning SO bright and so clear
ihen she must climb on chair TO keep
watch;
HE can not come in without me.
When mother is tired, open the door
There's nobody else, you see.'
Two little arms round daddy's dear neck
And soft, downy cheek 'gainst his own.
For out OF the nest, so coy and bright,
inc little ones mother has flown
one brushes the teardrops away as she
thinks:
snow he has no one but me.
mustn't give way; that would make him 50
sad
And there's nobody else, you see."
Two little tears on the pillow, just shed,
Dropped from the two pretty eyes;
Two little arms stretching out in the dark.
Two little faint sobbing cries;
DADDY forgot was always walked up
Then he whispered goodnight to me;
0 mother, come back just to kiss me in bed
There's nobody else, you sce."
Little true heart, II mother could look
Out from her home In the skies
She will not pass on to her haven Of rest
While the tears dim her little ones eyes.
II God has shed sorrow around us lust now.
Yet His sunshine is ever TO be
And He is the comfort for every ones pain
There's nobody else, you see.

turtle season begins In March and

turtle season begins In March and
lasts until October During the first
half all the fishing is done with nets
and harpoons; later the turtles are
captured on the beaches, where they
deposit their eggs. The creatures are
turned on their backs here. 1t takes
half dozen men to turn some OF the
large ones.
There is one piece of beach half a
mile long, just below Great Town, to
which the turtles make pilgrimages in
great numbers. From 1900 to 5000
are turned there every year. This
place is called Turtle Hill, from the
fact that Their. is large hill back of
the beach, ON top of which is a huge
stone just the shape of a turtle. Most
of the turtles caught weigh upward Of
200 pounds, and many weigh 600 or
700. The small turtles have from two
to three pounds of shell, and the large
ones as high as eight pounds. We pay
the natives "a a pound for the shell.
Sometimes the price we sell it for here
is less than we pay for it, but as we
pay in deprecated currency and mer-
chandise, we still have profit. At
other times, when shell is scarce here,
the price goes up to SIS a pound. About
half of the shell gathered comes to the
United States, the remainder goes to
ngland, Franc, an d Germany. IN.

TORTOISE SHELLS.
A Sea Captain Tells How They Are OBJ
tanned i'm the West Indies.

"What have / aboard? Mostly tor
toise shell, said the captain of
three-masted coaster. just in from the
West Indies. II have been in this bust
ness twenty years. We cruise all
along the Isthmus and among the
West India islands after the shell.
The natives make business of col
Letting it in Cuba and Jamaica and all
along the coast of the mainland from
Costa Rica to Yucatan. They fit out
canoes with enough provisions and
water to last six weeks, and so off to
the small sea islands, They capture
the turtles in nets or with harpoons.
They are very expert l have seen
them drive a harpoon through tur-
ties shell, over thirty feet away. They
haul their turtles into the boat and
take them ashore, where they kill
them. They heat the shell before a
fire, which they build on the beach,
and strip off the plates, which are the
tortoise shell of commerce. At night
they haul the canoe up on the beach
and sleep under it Occasionally a
hurricane comes up, and as their island
is generally less than fifty feet across
and only two or three feet above water,
the fishermen are swept off into the sea
and are lost.
1.-THE San Bias Indians have a
method of their own for removing the
plates from turtle shells. They place a
live turtle before the fire, heat the
shell until it softens. and then strip of
the plates. When this is done they
put the turtle back into the sea, and
unless the turtle dies new plates grow
in year. There are always thirteen
plates on the back, and seven points
around the edge of the shell that can
be used. The belly plates are also used
for certain purposes.
"They have four kinds of turtles
down there: The green turtle, the log
gerhead. the round-rump and the
hawk s-bilL The last is the kind that
produces tortoise-shell The best shell
comes from the Mosquito coast The

woMAN's RIGHT TO PREACH.

A Plea for Women In the Puipit-Hare
They Not the Right to Preach the Cos
pei?
Some years ago, Miss Sarah Smiley
preached in Cincinnati. so much to the
edifcation of the people that she con-
verified many persons to the doctrines
of Jesus, was complimented by having
her sermons published IN the daily pa
pers of that city, and upon her arrival
in Brooklyn, N. Y, soon after was in
vited to preach in Presbyterian
church. But woman preaching in a
church so excited the ire of the Scribes
and Pharisees, that they called its pas
tor before synod to account for his
action, where Aey so berated him for
having thus helped this servant of the
Lord in the thing she had need of, that
the poor man was driven in self-de-
Tense to say that he had not invited
Miss Smiley to preach to the men, but
to admonish the women. One irate
man went so far as to say that it was
an insult to Almighty God that wom-
an had been allowed to speak in house
dedicated to her Heavenly Fathers
service.
A recollection of these facts has inn
pressed very deeply upon my mind the
need of women being admonished to
stop listening in silence to any charge
against their Heavenly Father in refer
ence tothem, which, if brought against
their earthly fathers. would make them
cry aloud in his and their defense. Ishall
be glad if you will help me to accom-
plish it, by publishing this letter in
your paper.
Christ says: Except We be con-
verted and become as little children,
We shall not enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven" And verify believe that
except women attain to a childlike
faith in the justice of their Heavenly
Father, they viii not even obtain that
! equal dominion over earthly things
